June 10 will be the best night to see Jupiter, but it will be visible all month long, rising at dusk and saying in sight throughout the night, according to NASA.

The biggest planet in the solar system will be so close to Earth this month that its largest moons will be visible with binoculars, according to NASA.

Jupiter will reach opposition — when it is in a straight line with the Earth and the Sun — on Monday. That's the best time to see the giant gas planet because it will be at its closest to Earth and visible in the sky all night, NASA says. But it will be visible all month, rising at dusk and staying in sight throughout the night.

Jupiter has four moons, which will be visible through binoculars or small telescopes, according to NASA.

And from about June 14 to 19, Jupiter will "form a beautiful lineup" with the moon and Saturn in the night sky.

Other sky happenings this month:

On June 17 and 18, Mars and Mercury will appear close together just after sunset, according to NASA.

There will be a full moon June 17. This month's full month is called a strawberry moon. The moon gets its name from tribes in eastern North America, who knew it was time to gather ripe strawberries, according to the Farmer's Almanac.
